5. Before starting the equipment
Before you connect the equipment to the mains
supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are
identical to the mains data.
Always pull the power plug before making
adjustments to the equipment.
5.1 Safety guard (Fig. 2-3/Item 15)
The safety guard (15) protects the user from
accidentally touching the saw blade (12) and
nevertheless enables you a free view of the
cutting area.
The safety guard (15) must always be fitted and
in position before starting any sawing work.
The safety guard (15) can be pulled up as shown
in Figure 3.
5.2 Changing the saw blade (Figs. 4-5/Item 12)
Important!
You can fit or replace saw blades without using
any other tools.
Pull the mains plug before you fit or replace a saw
blade.
Set the selector switch for pendulum action (8) to
position 3.
The teeth of the saw blade are very sharp!
Pull up the safety guard (15) (see point 5.1).
Press the blade holder (14) and insert the saw
blade (12) into the blade holder (14) as far as the
stop (Fig. 4). The teeth on the saw blade must be
pointing forwards.
Allow the blade holder (14) to slide back to
starting position. The saw blade (12) must sit in
the guide roller (10) (Figure 5).
Check that the saw blade (12) is securely
mounted in the blade holder.
Follow the instructions above in reverse order to
remove the saw blade.
5.3 Installing the parallel stop (Figure 6/Item 11)
The parallel stop (11) enables you to saw parallel
cuts.
Undo the two locking screws (13) on the
soleplate (7).
Now slide the parallel stop (11) into the guides on
the soleplate (7). You can fit the parallel stop (11)
on either the left or right of the equipment.
The guide strip must always face downwards. Set
the required distance using the measurement
scale on the parallel stop (11) and tighten the
locking screws (13) again.
5.4 Setting the soleplate for miter cuts (Fig. 7)
Undo the locking screw (18) on the soleplate.
Pull the soleplate (7) slightly forward. The
soleplate can now be swiveled a maximum 45° to
the left and right.
If the soleplate (7) is pushed back to the rear
again it will only function in the locking positions
at 0°, 15°, 30° and 45°, which are marked on the
graduated scale for the soleplate (9). Move the
soleplate into the required position and refasten
the locking screw (18).
However, the soleplate (7) is also easily set to
another angle. To do so, slide the soleplate (7)
forwards, set the desired angle and refasten the
locking screw (18).
5.5 Adapter for dust extraction system (Figure
8/Item 6)
Connect your jigsaw to a vacuum cleaner using
the adaptor for dust extraction (6). This will
provide excellent dust extraction on the
workpiece. The benefits are that you will protect
both the equipment and your own health. Your
work area will also be cleaner and safer.
Dust created when working may be dangerous.
Refer to the section entitled “Safety instructions”.
Fit the adapter (6) as shown in Figure 8. The
adapter (6) must audibly engage to ensure that it
is secure in the soleplate (7). The adapter for chip
extraction (6) cannot be used for miter cuts.
Fit the vacuum tube of the vacuum cleaner onto
the adaptor opening (6). Check that the
connections are airtight.
5.6 Holder for saw blades (Fig. 9/Item 4)
There is a holder for saw blades on the jigsaw (4).
This holder can be taken off the machine. To do this,
slide the holder backwards. To secure the holder (4)
place it in the appropriate guides and then slide the
holder forwards.
